I couldn't provide any figure but remember that EQ is the grand-pa of the MMO so doesn't work on quite the same basic ideas as the new ones. From my understanding:
- Strength increases you ATK, therefore your chance to hit and the average damage you do
- Dexterity increases your proc chance

So, unless you have a proccing weapon, Strength is the way to go; and even if you do have proccing weapons, I don't think the return on investment is as good as investing in strength (unless you have 74- in dexterity which shouldn't really happen for a rogue).
I'm not used to melee characters though so feel free to correct me.
